In my memory I will always see
The town that I have loved
so well
Where our school played ball by the gasyard well
And we laughed through the smoke
and smell.
Going home in the rain running up a dark lane
Pest the jail and down beside the
fountain
Those were happy days in so many many ways
In the town I loved so
well.
In the early morn the shirt factory horn
Called the women from Creggan, the
Moor and the Bog
While the men on the dole played a mothering role
Fed the children and
then waled the dog
And when times got rough there was just about enough
But we saw it
through without complaining
For deep inside was a burning pride
In the town I loved so
well.
There was music there in the Derry air
Like a language that we could all
understand
I remember the day when I earned my first pay
When I played in a small guitar
band
There I spent my youth and to tell you the truth
I was sad to leave it all behind
me
There I learned about life and I found me a wife
In the town I loved so
well:
But when I returned oh my eyes how they burned
To see how a town could
be brought to it's knees
By the armoured cars and the bombed out bars
And the gas that
hangs on to everything
Now the army's installed by the gasyard wall
And their barbed wire
gets higher and higher
With their tanks and their guns
Oh my God, what have they
done
To the town I loved so well.
Though the music has gone and though we must carry
on
Our spirit's been bruised but never broken
We must never forget that our hearts are
still set
On tomorrow and peace once again
Now what's done is done and what's won is
won
And what's lost is lost and gone forever
I can only pray for a bright brand new
day
For the town I Ioved so well.
